It has been two years since Marnie Piper (Kimberly.J.Brown) first discovered that she was a witch and that there was this cool magical place called Halloweentown, Halloweentown is a place where many forms of creatures such as witches, ghosts, goblins, ogres, giants, trolls, vampires and werewolf's can all live, play and work together in harmony side by side just like i do from the mortal world.

However some evil warlock Kalabar (Robin Thomas) who used to have a thing for my mother, Gwen (Judith Hoag) and still does tried to takeover Halloweentown and the mortal world because of what happened a long time ago. Halloweentown was created to protect the creatures from harms way and vice-verse for the mortals, in the past creatures and humans use to live, play and work together in harmony side by side but the humans started to dislike the creatures became afraid of them then turned upon them, there was nothing but wars breaking out all the time and because the creatures wanted peace they were forced to create a place off their own.

Anyway thanks to my grandmother, Aggie (Debbie Reynolds) mother, sister Sophie (Emily Roeske) my brother Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) and I we defeated the evil warlock, so that the rest of Halloweentown could go back to living in peace once again. Also mother allowed grandma to come and live with us, My grandmother says that Halloweentown continues to change all the time, well I wish things would change here grandma and mother are fighting again.

It's halloween once again, two new strangers Alex (Wingfield Peter) and Kal (Daniel Kountz) moved into the neighbourhood both Gwen and Marnie were smitten by the arrival of Alex and Kal, Marnie shows Kal around the place including her grandmother's bedroom where Kal steals the spell book. Both Alex and Kal have a hidden agenda and are not who they claim they really are Alex is a golem and Kal is really a warlock and is the son of Kalabar.

Sophie and Aggie were handing out Halloween gifts to the neighbourhoods children when Sophie says the magic's all gone, Aggie gets worried and wants to visit her home,she wants to take her grandchildren Marnie and Sophie with her but Gwen says Sophie can not go. Aggie and Marnie set off for Halloweentown only to find that strange things have began to happen like the bus stop not being there, having to open up the portal for themselves, on arriving in Halloweentown we find out that there is no jack o' lantern, and everything and everyone has turned grey.

Aggie and Marnie bump into Astrid (Xantha Radley) they get talking to Astrid to find out what has happend when Luke (Phillip Van Dyke) bumps into Aggie and Marnie, Marnie is shocked to find out that Luke is human again, Aggie explains it is a spell that turns creatures into humans, so all they had to do was to reverse the spell by reading a spell from her spell book.

After contacting Dylan and Sophie and thinking about everything that has happened Aggie believes that they have walked into a trap and needs to get to her place and fast. Kal appears and reveals his true identity to Aggie and Marnie, Kal also explains his plans, he shares the same hatred towards humans as his father did. Kal's plans are to turn humans into creatures at midnight. After looking for Aggie's other spell book at her place and not finding it there, Marnie tries to get her grandmother to think of words to undo the spell, not realizing she changed Luke back into a goblin.

Aggie and company travel to gort's (Blu Mankuma) place. Gorts place is the best place to go to when you lose things it is the largest lost & found property of the universe. Back in the mortal world Sophie and Dylan tried to explain everything to their mother, but the mother was not having any of it especially weird explanations when there could be a logic one.

Luke encourages, Marnie to think of what she said when the grey spell wore off him, after remembering what she had said they were ready to head back to the present, only Marnie had lost the time travel spell.
